Actress Priyanka Chopra called out the magazine for its focus on Markle's romance with Prince Harry instead of Markle's philanthropic and professional accomplishments. The cover story, called "Meghan Markle, Wild About Harry!" marked the first time Markle had discussed her royal relationship publicly and most of the story focused on that fact.

"I don't [know] if I will get into trouble for this, but I have an opinion," Chopra said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "I mean, she's on the cover of Vanity Fair. It would have been nice to write about her not just her boyfriend. I'm just saying. I mean, she's an actor, she's an activist, she's a philanthropist. I mean, she does so much more."

Chopra said that she found the move a "little sexist," and resented the idea that a woman's narrative should be wrapped up in who she in relation to a man.

"It's just a little sexist," she said of the cover. "Look, I'm a feminist and I love boys, OK … The only thing I'm saying is that there needs to be a certain sense of equality where a woman is not just a plus one, you know. It's nice to be your own identity too."

This isn't the first time Chopra has called out the media's narrative about her friend Markle. Chopra corrected talk show host Wendy Williams earlier this year when she referred to Markle as simply "Prince Harry's girlfriend."

Although Chopra has admitted that she and Markle aren't the closest (on Williams' show she questioned if she would even be invited to the royal wedding, should there be one), it's great to see Chopra be such a tireless advocate of her friend.

Yes, it's likely that Markle wouldn't have been featured in such a big way if she was not dating Prince Harry. But that doesn't take away from the fact that she is an accomplished woman with a lengthy background of doing good in the world. Perhaps her relationship is the catalyst for everyone's interest, but in the future, it would be nice to see Markle's accomplishments be front and center.
